Wuhan Sanzhen and Kunshan FC faced off in the 32nd round of the Central League on December 13th at 15:00 Beijing Time. Shortly after the start, Piri's free kick was faulty but fortunately did not go into the net; Xu Junmin was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards into red, and both sides were scoreless in the first half. In the second half, Berto was sent off for a bad foul, Malcolm broke the deadlock, Xiao Tao Tao's quick counterattack nearly increased the score, and Deng Zhuo Xiang's substitute appearance sealed the victory for Wuhan Sanzhen. In the end, Wuhan Sanzhen beat Kunshan 2-0, and succeeded in overcoming the Super League in two rounds ahead of schedule, and realized the feat of three-level jump.
There is a young and little known player in the Wuhan Three Town team - Deng Zhuoxiang. He was once a highly skilled player, known for his accurate left-footed shots and keen observation. There are few names among Chinese players that foreigners can remember, and Deng Zhuoxiang is certainly one of them. On the eve of the World Cup, Deng Zhuoxiang became a rare player in the history of Chinese men's soccer to beat a top ten team in the world with a precise free kick in a warm-up match against the French national team. In the East Asia Four Nations Tournament, Deng Zhuoxiang was like the wind in the South Korean penalty area, continuously over a number of South Korean defenders, scored a goal, the victory allowed the Chinese team to get rid of the fear of South Korea for many years, and Deng Zhuoxiang's dexterous performance has also made people full of expectations for Chinese soccer.
Deng Zhuoxiang's silence is a microcosm of the whole Chinese soccer. There is no lack of talent in Chinese soccer, but there are always players who mysteriously disappear after a few years. Chinese clubs often lack formal management, do not pay attention to player injuries and illnesses, lack of professionalism, coupled with the general environment of Chinese soccer and the lack of self-discipline of the players, resulting in the departure of a potential young players. We all have our own scales in our hearts about the current situation of the Chinese Super League teams today.
Here, we still want to congratulate Wuhan Three Town on their success in breaking through to the Super League two rounds ahead of schedule, and look forward to Deng Zhuoxiang showing his strength on a higher level stage. At the same time, we also look forward to Chinese soccer getting better and better.
